• The Mount Tahoma Trails Association reports its snowpack has dwindled in recent weeks. The Web site – www. skimtta.org – report said: “Our snow base is completely gone below 3,800 feet. In the North District, the only good skiing is within a mile of Copper Creek Hut, and above the Hut. In the South District, the snow is probably skiable after one mile from the parking lot. The trail to the yurt has a lot of good skiing.”

• The staff at Mount Rainier National Park is waiting for more snow before grooming a second run at the Paradise snowplay area.
